Papavero Soave L`Erbolario for women

This one just isn't my cup of tea. It's too sweet and the only note that I can smell after I spray it on my skin is vanilla. And that is not a good thing because I don't like the scent of vanilla.

Happy to add this amazing perfume to my collection. It's rich, sweet, sexy, feminine and very italian to me ;-) In the best meaning of those words ;-)
And the red box it comes with is just pretty!! Thanks, l'Erbolario. I was waiting for a long time for a perfume like Papavero. Not to mention that i LOVE poppy's.. Beauty!

I wrote an email to L'Erbolario asking for the detailed olfactory pyramid of Papavero Soave. They answered me very kindly and quickly. Here it is.

TOP NOTES: Peach pulp, Red Mandarin pulp, Prunella

MIDDLE NOTES: Rose petals, Indian Davana, Lily of the Valley, Ylang Ylang, Lilac, Neroli, Jasmine, Poppy petals

BASE NOTES: Sandalwood, Musks, Amber, Vanilla, Patchouli

That's why I find some similarities between Papavero Soave and J'Adore (2011): I find Papavero Soave more interesting and complex, with a liquorous note that in J'Adore is missing.
J'Adore is a bit more mild and soapy, Papavero Soave has a smoky accord that makes it more intriguing (IMO).

UPDATE: Now Papavero Soave is my absolute favorite perfume! If I put the perfume on "Papavero Soave body cream", its sillage is incredibly loud, and it lasts all the day...
I'm definitely in love with it, and with every single note of it: from the sparkle of mandarin and peach to the deep sensuality of amber and musks, Papavero Soave has literally hooked my senses!!

After having tried it some weeks ago, at last I bought Papavero Soave and... wow!
A very interesting and sexy combination of fruity and smoky accords that I never smelled in any other perfume before!

As just said, it's hard to describe this scent, but every time I'm smelling Papavero Soave, it reminds me something delicious that belongs to my best memories... and then I realized: every years, on June, my mother prepares a simple dessert made of strawberries dipped in Porto (a delicious spanish red wine) and sugar, and it does stand in the refrigerator some hours before serving it. Then the strawberries have become liquorous, and the wine is more and more dense and aromatic: it's a real treat to eat and drink.
Papavero Soave has the same beautiful scent, with the addition of floral and smoky accords and a warm, sensual base that make it very classy and charming!

This is another good surprise from L'Erbolario, which recently is starting to make very good perfumes, more original and interesting than the earliest ones...

Papavero Soave is so lovely, I think it's going to be my springtime signature scent!

i simply adore & love this perfume. this perfume somewhat reminds me of burberry brit for men. one note that i am crazy about this perfume is the sarsaparilla (sarsi)-like.. plumy-liqourish. I am a male & this scent last long... very long.. fantastic creation & value buy! must have for all!

Thanks Cynical !
Looking at then notes, I would never have guessed this one could have this "sweet-caramel-honey-vanilla-sugar" note.

I'm CRAVING for this note, so ... ^^

Plus, perfumes need to have both strong sillage and great longevity according to me (otherwise, they are not really worth it).

I know that tastes about perfume are very personal, but this one is really worth a try, has a good sillage, very good longevity (8hrs on me!! which is a miracle) and it's cheap. I'm struggling not to buy it!

Cynicalwish, your review makes me want to test this fragrance !! ^^

I tried it today in a store. I have to be honest, I find difficult to describe it or discern the notes.
What comes to my mind is pouring liquour on a sugar cube and red velvet (I find the packaging incredibly fitting).
It's sweet, warm and aromatic at the same time. It's not "sticky" sweet like caramel, honey or vanilla can be, but a sweetness that I'd rather associate with sugar, almost powdery.
I wish I was better at describing it because I really liked it a lot!
